Default RE: Dragon wing failure.

Guys, could there be more problems than just the wing tabs?

The spar of my buddy's dragon wing bowed into a camber after only a few flights powered by a titan.
In this case, because the wing did not break off, we are able to see that the spar is just about to fail, had it buckled, no matter how strong the wing tab would be able to save it.
I can not say what gave way first on your misfortunes, assuming they have the same spars, then it is something really needs to be looked into.

All the best to (ex)dragon owners and skymaster,

Barry
